And so begins another wonderful holiday season in retail. This weekend they start with the Christmas music, so I get to hear that Mariah Carey song twice a day, 3 renditions of "Last Christmas," and 5 of the little drummer boy. But I will at least start getting back to a more normal and set schedule. And I will be getting most of the weekends off from what I heard as they want me to basically be weekday mornings, though that can be the craziest time to work.

I will be determined to make this my last holiday to work in retail...or at least at this job. Doesn't pay enough and I would like to find something better. So here is hoping.
